Mark attended Magdalen College School, Oxford until 1956.
At 17 his first job was in Tripoli, Libya, where he worked as a payroll clerk for the American troops stationed there.
He returned to the UK in the early 1960s and went on to study at the London School of Photography.
His photographic career spanned 50 years.
His talent, charisma and curiosity led him to cover a diverse range of significant world events from the hippy movement on the fashionable streets in London to the ravaged countryside of Vietnam during their war.
Mark moved to Paris in the late 1960s with his family. There he was a Freelance photojournalist and Fashion photographer; his work was featured in many prestigious magazines and newspapers including Paris Match.
Moving back to the UK in the mid 1970’s, Mark continued as a freelance photographer until he became a staff photographer for the Sunday Times.
Mark covered many important stories of the era including the conflicts in Uganda and Cambodia, famine in Biafra, the thalidomide story and children with AIDS in Romania.
He specialised in photographing the arts for the Sunday Times Culture Magazine.
He remained at The Sunday Times until his retirement in 2005 when he started freelancing again.
